Chapter 1325: Chapter 1318: Going Back on One’s Word
"Heh, fine, it’s not my business," Xuan shrugged his shoulders and then spoke solemnly, "but I’ve changed my mind; I don’t plan to withdraw my troops unless you attack us first. I will not give up Wufeng City easily."
"You’re not keeping your word!" Feng drew his long sword, pointing it at him.
"Calm down, calm down, why are you drawing your sword again?" Xuan waved his hand and said, "No matter what, I’m still the commander of the Heavenly Army. How can I flee without fighting? What would I say when I go back?"
"That’s your problem, you yourself said that you would retreat if the generals suffered more than half casualties," Feng said coldly.
"If I hadn’t said that, how would you have been willing to cooperate with me to get rid of them?" Xuan said, a triumphant smile appearing on his face.
"You’re using us!" Feng exclaimed, realization dawning on him.
"It goes both ways; everyone is just using each other," Xuan’s face kept smiling.
"We trusted you so much, and you actually deceived us," Feng said.
"Hey, I’m your enemy. Didn’t your parents ever tell you not to believe everything your enemy says?" Xuan spoke unhurriedly.
"Not a single word you say should be trusted," Feng said through gritted teeth.
"But you still believed me, didn’t you?" Xuan said boastfully.
"Aren’t you afraid that we might leak this?" Feng threatened.
"Heh, do you think those rude and simple-minded guys will believe their enemy or their own governor?" Xuan spread his hands and asked.
Facing an increasingly angry Feng, Xuan maintained his smile and paused for a moment before changing the subject: "Let’s talk about something else."
"What else do you want to say?" Feng asked guardedly.
"Princess, the Imperial Council hopes you will return to the Heavenly Dynasty. After all, you are a princess of the Empire, and the Council truly cannot bear to see you loitering in West Outer Heaven," Xuan said leisurely.
"What if I refuse to go back?" Feng asked coldly.
"We are only responsible for taking you back; how we do it doesn’t matter as long as you’re alive," Xuan said, a hint of cruelty showing on his face.
"Bastard!" Feng was furious and swung her sword, her blade energy heading straight for Xuan.
However, her strike was quickly blocked by a general who had suddenly appeared. Moreover, other generals previously hidden nearby also appeared, encircling Feng.
"I may be powerless, but I have a brain," Xuan said with a smile, then pointed at her and issued an order in Kyushu language.
"Prepare the silence..." Despite being surrounded, Feng seemed unfazed and was observing her surroundings while instructing Fulajie’er.
"Be careful; this thing can still hurt people," Fulajie’er cautioned worriedly.
As soon as she finished speaking, people saw a cylindrical object fall from Feng’s body, and then she kicked the cylindrical object towards the general’s face.
The generals widened their eyes as they watched the cylindrical object, sensing something was wrong and turning to dodge. In that instant, the object suddenly burst open, releasing a blinding light and an extremely shocking sound.
Indeed, what Feng had kicked was a modern warfare consumable, a flashbang grenade.
But before the flashbang exploded, Fulajie’er had already enveloped Feng in the Silence Domain, allowing her to avoid the powerful noise attack. She just needed to turn her back to be immune to the damage from the flashbang grenade.
The violent explosion and dazzling white light caused the generals to cover their ears and roll on the ground non-stop; even Xuan was affected, losing his balance and only able to clutch at a chair on the ground.
Of course, some generals were only affected by the sound, so they didn’t suffer as much. But, taking advantage of the disruption caused by the flashbang grenade, Feng managed to escape the encirclement and activated the Mobility device to run towards the city’s outskirts.
But this time, Xuan was clearly serious, and as soon as Feng jumped out of a small encirclement, she immediately found herself deeply trapped in a larger one. The generals inside the city had almost all mobilized to surround and block her, the princess.
Feng tried to sprint across the rooftops but soon realized it was too dangerous because General Royal Dao could unleash sword energies just like her, attacking her while she was speeding on the rooftops, easily turning her into a target.
With no other choice, she had to descend to the streets to escape. But as soon as she landed, she was besieged by over a dozen Generals of the Ba Path.
This time, these generals coordinated closely, leaving her no chance to reach for her gun, forcing her to be constantly on the defensive. After a chaotic battle, not only did Feng fail to escape, but she was also injured.
"There are too many people, Little Fengye, prepare to run, I’ll cover you!" At that moment, she heard Fulajie’er’s voice in her mind again.
Right after that, she felt the magical power around her rapidly gathering. A dazzling light enveloped her completely from above, and upon seeing this scene, all the generals widened their eyes in shock, looking at the top of her head.
Feng looked up and realized that Fulajie’er had actually revealed her true form to distract the generals’ attention, giving her a chance to escape. The sacred light that formed her body made her appear like a celestial descending to earth, causing the generals present to go weak in the knees, almost to the point of kneeling.
"Go, what are you waiting for!" While Feng was stunned, she heard Fulajie’er’s urging voice and quickly took advantage of the generals’ distraction to turn and leap away, escaping the scene.
On the other hand, Cheng Ziang was anxiously waiting for Feng’s arrival, especially when he heard Xuan had reneged on his word and intended to capture Feng, his anger reached its peak. It was fortunate that Baiyue held him back, or he might have truly charged into Wufeng City.
"When Feng comes out, you take her and leave, and I’ll cover our retreat," a calmed down Cheng Ziang told Baiyue.
"Are you crazy?" Baiyue asked in surprise.
"I’m not crazy, I’m confident," Cheng Ziang said seriously.
Hearing his words, Baiyue was initially stunned but quickly realized, yet still somewhat worried, "Are you sure?"
"Don’t worry, she definitely won’t easily forgive those who harm her descendants," Cheng Ziang confidently said.
"Then take care of yourself, and remember to have Xiao Fula protect you," Baiyue nodded and said.
About ten minutes later, a disheveled Feng finally burst out of Wufeng City and stumbled to the meeting place. However, a multitude of generals followed her, and their numbers were still increasing.
"Feng, are you alright?" Seeing Feng arrive safely, Baiyue hurriedly approached her, grabbing her and asking with concern.
"Didn’t I tell Fula to have you guys leave?" Feng glared, slightly angered.
"Do you think she would listen to you or to me," Cheng Ziang shrugged, then turned his head and said, "Hurry up and go, I’ll cover the retreat."
"You..." Feng was about to speak when Baiyue interrupted her.
"He can handle the retreat, don’t worry about him," Baiyue reassured.
"Alright then," Feng hesitated for a moment and then nodded, but still worriedly said, "Be very careful, the generals have almost mobilized their entire army."
"The whole army coming out, it’s like they are all here to see us off," Cheng Ziang said with a confident smile, and finally spoke to the air, "Xiao Fula, go protect them, I’ve got this."
"They asked me to protect you, and you ask me to protect them, I really can’t split myself," Fulajie’er said helplessly. "Well, I guess I’ll just look after both sides a bit."
"Suit yourself then," Cheng Ziang said, taking a deep breath and pulling out a pendant.
"Please hear my call, Liseya," Cheng Ziang placed the pendant on his forehead, and softly called out in the Tasta language.
Following his call, the familiar Flying Head Monster suddenly appeared in mid-air, then looked at him with a loving gaze.
Having gotten used to Liseya’s presence, Cheng Ziang was no longer so afraid of her; instead, he felt a slight sense of kinship, albeit fleetingly.
"I need protection," Cheng Ziang looked up at her and said earnestly.
Hearing his words, Liseya circled in mid-air before directly passing through his chest. When she reappeared before Cheng Ziang, her entire aura had completely changed.
